I'd give them my leaves

 

This is short, but cool;  a company in Europe makes paper out of leaves, saving trees in the process.

I'd give them all of mine. Even better, they could come and get them off my lawn and take them back to the factory themselves.

European cities give their dead leaves to this startup to turn them into shopping bags and paper

"Using a combination of chemical and mechanical processes, Releaf produces one tonne of cellulose from 2.3 tonnes of dead leaves.

It would usually take 17 trees to produce the same amount.

Cities around Europe give Releaf dead leaves they have collected off their streets, instead of burning them as many places usually do.

“We are working only with the leaves that we are getting from the cities because we cannot use the leaves from the forest. It's not easy to collect them in the forest, and there is no need because there's an ecosystem."

Come and get 'em
